Butternut Squash Soup
The farmer’s market is stocked with beautiful squashes and pumpkins this time of year. I bought this beautiful squash and got inspired to paint my kitchen the same color. This soup is low in points and is very filling. Enjoy!
More soup recipes I love around this time of year are Pumpkin Ginger Soup and Roasted Cauliflower Chowder. Also Potato Leek Soup and Red Lentil Soup with Spinach.
How to Peel and Cut and Butternut Squash
- Cut both ends, bottom and top, of the squash. Using a large spoon scrape out the seeds and strings.
- Cut the squash in large chunks and place in a pot of boiling water for 10 minutes.
- Drain and let the squash cool. The skin will come off easily with a pairing knife.
